Boy, 7, arrested for riding dirt bike on sidewalk

Of course, you never get all of the facts in the newspaper, but I feel this police officer should be fired if this is true report.

    Things are not always what they seem. I think the Mayor should have waited on the completion of the investigation before saying the arrest was wrong. Seven seems young, but children often look (and act) a lot older than their age these days. My guess was the kid was not just “sitting” in the bike and probably did something to provoke the arrest. I retired after 20 years in law enforcement (about 7 years ago). My premature retirement was because things today ain’t like the used to be when I started in 1980! I got tired of it and changed careers (now in corporate safety management) while I was still young enough to do it!!!

    I agree with Big O. I certainly think the Police have more important things to do than arrest 7 year olds on dirt bikes unless the kid was noticeably doing something wrong.
